Display reactions
The instructions below describe how to graphically display reactions at individual supports and beam ends. For instructions on how to view a summary of the total reactions for the whole model see: Project Workspace Loading window.
Support reactions
-
Open a view and switch the view
regime to
Results View.
On the ribbon, the Results tab is displayed. -
in the
Reactions group on the Results tab, click Settings
if required, to select the required axis system.
To find out more about the axis system choices, see: Working with foundation reaction axis systems -
In the Reactions group, select the reactions to be displayed:
Option Description 1D Reactions at supports under 1D elements (e.g. column support reactions), 2D Reactions at supported nodes of 2D elements (individual meshed wall supports and mat foundation supports), 
Distributed wall reactions (Fz) - available for self-supported meshed, mid-pier, bearing and shear-only wall panels with horizontal bottom levels. When active the nodal support reactions exclusive to the wall are hidden.
Summary of assumptions,- Wall panel has enough height to ensure that all loading that contributes to the reaction is far enough from the support such that the principle of St. Venant is considered valid,
- Material is perfectly homogeneous and isotropic,
- Elastic limit is nowhere exceeded and 'E' is same in tension and compression.
Integrated reactions at core supports. When active support reactions exclusively from 1D and 2D core members are hidden.
